What are the cracking sounds in my neck?

Do you ever turn your head and wonder what is causing the cracking sounds? Does this concern you? Well, most of the time these sounds are harmless. The medical term for this is crepitus. Patients often worry that this is a sign of something major or really bad arthritis. While these noises can at times be a indication of a bigger issue, they usually are not. However, a proper evaluation should be performed to rule out anything more than a nuisance. That's where your local chiropractor can come in handy. If you are concerned about noises coming from your neck, schedule a consult with a trusted doctor of chiropractic today!
